Tyson logged zero points (0-1 FG) across two minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 win over the Pacers.
Tyson played for just the third time in the past 10 games and for just the eighth time this season. All but one of his appearances have come during garbage time, averaging 0.3 points in 3.5 minutes per contest. There is no reason to consider him a viable fantasy asset.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Nabs double-double in SL loss
Rotowire
Tyson posted 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 90-89 Summer League loss to Milwaukee.
Tyson wasn't shy on the offensive end, where he chucked up a team-high 14 attempts from the field. He wasn't able to get his shot to fall for the majority of the night, but his shot volume allowed him to reach double figures, and his effort on the glass resulted in a double-double. Tyson appeared in 51 regular-season games for the Nuggets a season ago, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Makes garbage-time cameo in Game 7
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) played the final 9:36 of Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, scoring five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and adding three rebounds and one assist.
Tyson had missed the previous three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain, though the second-year forward hadn't been part of the Nuggets' postseason rotation anyway. He was able to get some run in Game 7, though he didn't check into the game until the Thunder had built a 32-point lead. Tyson finished the regular season with averages of 2.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 7.8 minutes per contest while shooting 37.5 percent from the field in 51 appearances (two starts).

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Gets green light Sunday
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Tyson will suit up for Sunday's win-or-go-home matchup after a three-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. However, he isn't guaranteed playing time as the Nuggets attempt to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Questionable for series finale
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Tyson has missed the last three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain. Even if he's upgraded to available, he isn't expected to play a significant role in the rotation. Tyson has averaged a mere 5.3 minutes per game across four postseason appearances.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Tyson has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.
Tyson was a late addition to the injury report after presumably twisting his ankle during warmups. He didn't appear in Games 1 or 3 but saw 12 minutes during Denver's Game 2 blowout loss, posting eight points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
The Nuggets are resting all of their regular starters on Wednesday, so Tyson will get the chance to handle an expanded role in this contest. Tyson has made just one start this season, logging 20 minutes in a win over the Warriors on March 17 and finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Tyson will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Tyson will return to a bench role Wednesday after making the first start of his NBA career in Monday's win against the Warriors. The Clemson product hasn't had a significant role with Denver this season, averaging 7.6 minutes per game. He likely won't have much of a fantasy impact returning to the second unit.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Fares well as starter
Rotowire
Tyson ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.
Christian Braun (foot), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (elbow) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Tyson to make his first career start. All three of those players are day-to-day, but they could get some maintenance in the final weeks as the Nuggets look to keep them fresh for the playoffs. Tyson will be on the streaming radar only when the Nuggets are very shorthanded.
Tyson posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Tyson continues to play only during garbage time, a common theme for several fringe players who saw court time Saturday. To this point, he has suited up in 33 games, averaging a modest 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Remains out Wednesday
Rotowire
Tyson (finger) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Tyson will be sidelined for a second straight game to close out the Nuggets' first-half schedule due to what the team is listing as a left finger sprain/fracture. The rookie second-round pick has made just nine appearances for the Nuggets this season, but with Jamal Murray (tibias) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) listed as questionable but considered unlikely to play against Sacramento, Tyson may have had a chance to pick up some minutes Wednesday if he was healthy.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Sits out with finger fracture
Rotowire
Tyson was ruled out ahead of Monday's 112-95 loss to the Bucks due to a left finger sprain/fracture.
Tyson had been playing for the G League's Grand Rapids Gold prior to being recalled Monday, so he presumably sustained the injury in a recent game or practice with the Nuggets' affiliate. Even if he's cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, the rookie second-round pick is unlikely to be included in head coach Michael Malone's rotation.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Tyson (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.
Tyson is in danger of missing his second straight contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, the rookie forward's potential absence shouldn't impact Denver's rotation.
